The study consisted of an analysis of programs appearing between 8 and 11 o'clock in the morning on September 15, 1990, and June 9, 1992, focusing on the ethnicity, gender, and age of characters, the positive or negative portrayal of characters, and the characters' positions of authority. The study found that the Saturday morning cartoons reviewed contained few older characters, and that the majority of these were depicted as either evil or incompetent. Of the characters whose ethnicity could be determined, 32 percent belonged to ethnic minorities, though fully 60 percent of these minority characters were in one show ("Kid 'N Play"). Only 17.8 percent of the characters in 1990 and 23.8 percent in 1992 were female. Cartoon settings, plot types, values, morality, and inherent consumerism are also analy..ed and discussed. Overall, the paper concludes that Saturday morning children's programming teaches children that white men are the most important and powerful people in society; that women are underrepresented everywhere; that the world is a scary place; and, that they should belong and be loyal to a group and never act on their own.

SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS AND CHILDREN'S PERCEPTIONS OF SOCIAL REALITY KAREN SWAN, UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY tr)CIU VI .1, P.' In 1982, the National Institute of Mental Health issued a report entitled Television and Behavior which reviewed the over 2,500 available studies on television viewing and its effects on human development and behavior. Among many other issues; the report looked at the influences of television on attitudes, values, and beliefs, and found substantial evidence that people's attitudes and behaviors concerning violence, race, gender, sexuality, consumerism, and many other things could be significantly influenced by how much and what they watched on television.Its authors also concluded that television had become a major socializing agent of American children. The report went on to state, "In addition to socialization, television influences how people think about the world around them or what is sometimes called their conceptions of 'social reality.' Studies have been carried out on the amount of fear and mistrust of other people, and on the prevalence of violence, sexism, family values, racial attitudes, illness in the population, criminal justice, and affluence. On the whole, it seems that television leads its viewers to have television influenced attitudes."In other words, viewers tend to accept and internalize the attitudes, values, and behaviors portrayed on broadcast television. No viewers as vulnerable to such process as children. Television provides all people with a window on the larger world, but the view through that window has a far greater influence on children's sense of it, simply because their individual worlds are so constricted, their experience so limited, and their perceptionof social reality so plastic. As Aimee Dorr (1986) points out, the most important social learning usually occurs during childhood. "This is the time," she writes (pa. 13), "when individuals learn what must be known if they are to function in their culture." When one considers that by the time they graduate from high school. American children will have spent more time in front of TV sets than in classrooms, itis not surprising that Dorr finds that the major role broadcast television plays in children's lives is that of "an information-providing experience -- a source of knowledge or prejudice, a teacher of ... how to play, fight, and love." (pg. 60) (-n Television depictions of social reality tend mainly to reinforce adults' world views.Children, on the other hand, especially young children, don't havepreconceived notions about society and its workings, nor experience against which to test televised versions of these. They also, to a greater or lesser extent, tend to think everything they see ontelevision is "real" (Christenson & Roberts, PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE THIS MATERIAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY i<scis-e.Y\Su):an 1 T() THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERICI" BEST COPY AVAILABLE 1983). Indeed, our own research with eight- and nine-year olds suggests they find the characters, situations, and story-lines depicted even in Saturday morning cartoons realistic (Beasich, Leinoff & Swan, 1992). In addition, children are more likely to be able to follow cartoon stories than those of other programs, hence, more likely to internalize the social realities depicted in them. Saturday morning is the only block of programming time devoted exclusively to children.If television has become a major socializing agent of American children, then Saturday morning cartoons represent at least one of the primary texts for their social learning. Thischapter examines that text through content and critical analyses of all programs broadcast between 8:00 am and 11:00 am on Saturday, September 15, 1990, and again on Satuday, June 9, 1992 (after the Children's Television Act of 1990 went into effect). These included: SEPTEMBER 15, 1990 Muppet Babies;89 am, CBS Garfield and Friends;9 - 10 am, CBS Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; 10- 11 am, CBS NewAdventures of Winnie the Pooh;88:30 am, ABC The Wizard of Oz;8:30 - 9 am, ABC Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters;9 - 10 am, ABC Beetlejuice;1010:30 am, ABC New Kids on the Block; 10:3011 am, ABC Camp Candy;88:30 am, NBC Captain N and Super Mario Brothers;8:30 - 9:30 am, NBC Gravedale High;9:30 - 10 am, NBC Kid N' Play; 1010:30am, NBC The Chipmunks Go to the Movies; 10:3011 am, NBC JUNE 9, 1992 Captain Planet and the Planeteers;8 - 9 am, CBS Garfield and Friends; 9- 10 am, CBS Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles;10 - 11 am, CBS New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh;8 - 8:30 am, ABC Land of the Lost;8:30 - 9 am, ABC Darkwing Duck;9 - 9:30 am, ABC Beetlejuice;9:30 - 10:30 am, ABC Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters; 10:3011.30 am, ABC Space C.,ts;8 - 8:30 am, NBC Yo,Yogi;8:30 - 9 am, NBC Captain N and Super Mario Brothers; 9 -030 am,NBC Pro Stars;9:30 - 10 am, NBC Wish Kid; 10- 10:30 am, NBC Saved By the Bell;10:3011 am, NBC In reviewing the social reality depicted in Saturday morning cartoons, it is important to note that it is, in at least two meaningful senses, a "derived reality." Firstly, the situations, in particular the characters and settings, found in the vast majority (12/13 or 92.3% in 1990, and 9/14 or 64.3% in 1992) of the programs we analyzed wereadapted from other media -- books, movies, famous personalities, video games, comics, and other TV shows (TABLE 1).It might be argued, then, that the social reality depicted on Saturday mornings is largely serendipitous -- that is, it is the haphazard amalgamation of the cartoonadaptations of previously contrived situations. Two observations, however, suggest otherwise. To begin with, it is obvious that any adaptation process is highly selective, and so, thatthe materials selected for adaptation as Saturday morning cartoons were selected precisely for their popularity with young audiences and their (not unrelated) "fit" with established Saturday morning formulae.Secondly, most of the cartoon adaptations we looked at included changes in social reality elements favoring the same such formulae. For example, the setting in the cartoon version ofBeetlejuiceis suburban, not rural as in the movie.Beetlejuice,the cartoon also focuses on an adolescent character less central, diminishes the adult characters more central, and adds several adolescent characters not present in the movie version. Even more telling, perhaps, is thefact that the plots of these cartoon adaptations bear little, if any, resemblance to those of thematerial from which they came. They rather resemble nothing so much as each other. TABLE 1 Derivation of Saturday Morning Cartoons SEPT 15, 1990 JUNE 9, 1992 CLASSIFICATION NUMBER PERCENT NUMBER PERCENT comic 2/13** 15.4% 2/14** 14.4% book 2/13* 15.4% 1/14* 7.1% movie 3/13 23.0% 3/14 21.5% TV show 2/13 15.4% 1/14 7.1% video game 1/13 7.7% 1/14 7.1% personalities 2/13 15.4% 1/14 7.1% TOTAL DERIVED 12/13 92.3% 9/14 64.3% TOTAL ORIGINAL 1/13 7.7% 5/14 35.7% * are also movies ** Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was also later made into movies `i 3 A second important way in which the social reality found in Saturday morningprogramming is a derived reality involves the formalproperties of animated cartoons themselves.It is simply that animated cartoons are derived versions of traditional film and video, more iconicand less realistic renditions of regular television fare.It might therefore be suggested that children are less likely to view cartoons as "real," which is true (Dorr,1986), hence, that children are less likely to internalize the social reality they portray, which is most probably not true.

  • ABSTRACT the Women of Supernatural: More Than
    ABSTRACT The Women of Supernatural: More than Stereotypes Miranda B. Leddy, M.A. Mentor: Mia Moody-Ramirez, Ph.D. This critical discourse analysis of the American horror television show, Supernatural, uses a gender perspective to assess the stereotypes and female characters in the popular series. As part of this study 34 episodes of Supernatural and 19 female characters were analyzed. Findings indicate that while the target audience for Supernatural is women, the show tends to portray them in traditional, feminine, and horror genre stereotypes. The purpose of this thesis is twofold: 1) to provide a description of the types of female characters prevalent in the early seasons of Supernatural including mother-figures, victims, and monsters, and 2) to describe the changes that take place in the later seasons when the female characters no longer fit into feminine or horror stereotypes. Findings indicate that female characters of Supernatural have evolved throughout the seasons of the show and are more than just background characters in need of rescue. These findings are important because they illustrate that representations of women in television are not always based on stereotypes, and that the horror genre is evolving and beginning to depict strong female characters that are brave, intellectual leaders instead of victims being rescued by men. The female audience will be exposed to a more accurate portrayal of women to which they can relate and be inspired. Copyright © 2014 by Miranda B. Leddy All rights reserved TABLE OF CONTENTS Tables
